Illinois Born, Love In Arkansas

Illinois born and bred, each established travelers having lived in 6 states between the two of us, we both ended up in Arkansas in 2021. As fate would have it, we both found our way to a nice and tucked away apartment complex just outside of the big city in Maumelle, Arkansas. Neither of us knowing the blessings and significance this location would hold. Through the assistance of the ultimate wingman (thank you Hendrix), we were able to meet and an indescribable connection was immediately made. Of course, both being born and raised in Illinois and ending up in Arkansas was quite the conversation point, but the feeling of "this is the one" was there for the both of us in almost everything we did. We could sit here and tell you our love story one piece after another, but to provide the highlights, it went like this. Friendship first, adventure leading to romance, to consolidating our fur families to one living space, more adventure, leading us to deciding to spend a lifetime together. We are overjoyed that we get to bring together our friends and family today in celebration of our love and future adventures together.

The Best Day Ever!
